Olá, hola, Kemcho, hello!

I’m devina :)

Nice to meet you!

I am from the U.K., but have been living in Portugal for the last 5 years. I live near the coast, in Costa de Caparica. I love being in the bustle and activism of the city, but also am trying to slow down inwardly and outwardly. A little bit of resistance to capitalist productive paces perhaps?

My politics and dedication to climate change run a lot of my life and views. I have a climate association here in Lisbon and I work in European climate policy. I hope we can have nice discussions about this!

I love to dance, cook, learn, philosophise, discover beautiful music, be among tree friends and sit in parks! Plus a bunch of other stuff. I’m curious about everything!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love getting immersed into the local culture and ways and meeting people local to a place :)

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

19th century literature - Brontë sisters are my favourite
I read a lot of anti capitalist, anti racist, sustainability, climate change, Indigenous wisdom books. They are heavy! Looking to get into some Magical Realism stuff for fun!

I love films from Studio Ghibli & the Before Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight trilogy - some of the best dialogue I have ever witnessed that really makes you reflect on life and all its wonders.

My music taste is truly eclectic. From salsa to Reggae to classic Indian songs or folk songs from Ethiopia or even just the Native American flute.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Hiked Chilean Patagonia over 4 days with a sprained ankle and a 12kg tent / backpack

Amazing or stupid? I was 20 😅
